There, Dr. Chris Roberts, dean of the Samuel Ginn College of Engineering and soon-to-be president of Auburn University, presented the Foundation attendees with a plaque and certificate recognizing that “the NaphCare Foundation has established themselves as a significant contributor to Auburn University.” Dr. Roberts went on to commemorate the NCF’s dedication through our ongoing partnership, generous financial contributions and support of Auburn University’s state-of-the-art research on artificial intelligence.
